HI Guys, I bought the L-79 wagon on E-BAY. I was compelled too, Even though the proper docs are not there. The chance of it being a collection of dated parts was a chance I had to take. My gamble paid off. I'm 100% sure of it ligitamacy, thanks to my good buddy John D'andre in N.J. He researched the history of the car and set up a meeting with them. I believe with there highly credible testimonals, the need for POP and build sheet will not cast any doubts of it being the real deal. I have traveled over 1500mi and spent a great deal of effort to authenicate the wagon. I met with George Reppallayia, He worked at the Bond Brook N.J. chevy dealership when the car rolled off the truck and later rode around in it, I met wit Ted kijek, a factory sponsered AMX,HEMI CUDA, Z-11 CAMARO drag racer, he was the fourth owner. He drove the car to national events as personal car,at the 79 Spring Nats in Elizabeth N.J.where Bill Jenjins offered to buy this car, I met with Bill Jenkins and confirmed this to be true, He verified the car AS a true L-79. I met with John Hoffman, who was Grumpy's machinist, he told Bill about the Wagon and also knew Ted Kijek when they drag raced together around the Atco Dragway in Jersy. These guys all live within 20mi of each other and all have signed an affirmation stating the car is correct. For more info go to MSRESTOREIT.COM Thanks mark And buy chance John was able to put us all together for a pow wow.

Congradulations Mark on a very interesting and valuable find. Any one who is interested, read the web page Mark listed. Very interesting reading. Guess it pays to follow up on research.

Smile Nova L79 wagon

Hey guys, I think I have one! I’ve been looking for a clean wagon and I picked this up last week. It’s a blue 67’ with a Muncie and an L79. I’ve been guessing perhaps there was an engine swap in its past, but the numbers are pointing to it being legit? Not sure how to post photos…

Default L79 67’ Wagon

I was looking for a clean wagon for an LS swap when I came across this one. I brought it home and begin discovering how rare it is? 362 engine code, 4-speed, date codes etc..
Now, it’s a “don’t touch or change anything” project, which is okay. If it’s a real L79 car I’ll preserve it, I just want help knowing…
